Changes made to Philadelphia's free student meal distribution program | FULL LIST

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Beginning April 23, the grab-and-go meal distribution available at 49 Philadelphia school sites will be shifting to one day per week.

"The one-day-per-week schedule is a proactive measure we are taking to further support the city's shelter-in-place guidance, minimize social interactions and help flatten the coronavirus curve," according to a statement on the city's website.

The following information was previously released by the city:

In light of the City and State emergency closures, the City, School District of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Housing Authority and several charter schools have created a new list of schools and community sites that are distribution points for student meals.

These additions also come with changes to the days in which meals will be available for distribution.

School meal sites and schedules will change beginning Monday, March 23. In addition, Parks & Recreation sites are no longer distributing student meals beginning March 23.

All meal sites will continue to be open from 9 a.m. until noon, but the locations and frequency of distribution are changed. Revisions to the meals distribution program include:

-School District sites (49 total) will be open Thursdays only.

-Families can pick up three grab-and-go bags per student/child on these days.

-School District sites will continue to make available the K-12 Learning Guides, optional resources to help reduce learning regression while students are out of school due to efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 throughout the Philadelphia region.
